Why all the hate for Evan Rodrigues? Plus some updates on Malkin AND Letang...
Happy Thursday! Hunter starts out the episode by touching on some of the latest news surrounding the team, which includes Juuso Riikola leaving to go overseas. Hunter gets into why it was probably the right move for him considering that he doesn't belong in the AHL with how talented he is. Hunter also brings up the point that it made no sense how the Penguins treated him when he got there, especially when Jack Johnson and Justin Schultz were getting ice time over him. Should he have been in the lineup a lot more? Why was he then pushed out forever? Could he have been in other lineups around the league? Hunter answers those questions before reviewing Sidney Crosby's season and why it was one of the best of his career. Is it fair to expect this level of production from him next year? How special was his short playoff run? What should we expect from his line next season? After that, Hunter gets into an answer from Josh Yohe's mailbag about Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang and what that could mean moving forward. He dives a bit more into Malkin's stats from this past season to debunk some wild theories about him before ending the show with some defense of Evan Rodrigues after some people had some wild takes about him too.
